We have to use a default kernel version that we know works with our
current tool chain. Usually when I update the version it's because the
older kernel doesn't compile on the latest distribution. For that reason
though, we also can't just fetch the latest and greatest that we haven't
tested.
We have added tools in rteval to make fetching the kernel easier,
especially for upstream.
rteval -S [kernel-version]
will either fetch the kernel-version, or if that is omitted, it will fetch
the default-kernel version for rteval from kernel.org
I guess what we're lacking is an option to have kcompile use an indicated
kernel-version. This could be useful also for testing the version with
rteval.
